After a little over an hour’s drive through gorgeous wooded forest and rolling hills, we found ourselves with hundreds of other LGBTQ folks in the small town of Daylesford. We perched ourselves onto a good viewing area from the sidewalk and watched the parade go by. Great fun!

We then headed down to the ChillOut Festival grounds, where they had live entertainment, food and various LGBTQ booths all throughout. It truly was a “chill out” festival, as everyone there seemed to know to bring a lawn chair, a picnic lunch and a blanket and just camp out on the festival grounds for the day. There were a variety of groups camped throughout.
